Recreating Los Pollos Hermanos from Breaking Bad at home, with recipe

GeekPlate’s Los Pollos Hermanos fried chicken: highly addictive

On our recent visit to Albuquerque, New Mexico, we visited a number of the locations that appeared regularly in the incredible Breaking Bad TV SerieFrom Walter and Skyler White’s house to the A1A car wash, these locations are memorable features of the show, alongside the RV, Walter’s underpants and the iconic blue meth.

Most notable for us here at GeekPlate, however, was Los Pollos Hermanos, the chicken shop run as a drug front by Gus Fring.

In reality, Los Pollos Hermanos is Twisters, a burrito fast food outlet used for filming both the interiors and exteriors for Breaking Bad.

Los Pollos Hermanos and the real-life Twisters

There was no fried chicken on the menu (we ordered some chicken nuggets as a mild tribute), but a large Los Pollos Hermanos mural still graces one of the walls.

Close, but even after travelling all the way to Albuquerque, it looked like if we wanted to try Gus Fring’s chicken, we’d have to make it ourselves.
